However, in the single-game quarterfinal, they were underdogs but managed to eliminate third-seed JT Thunders Hiroshima (62 points, 21-6) and will play in the semifinal: 3-1 (24-26, 25-11, 25-19, 25-14).

The Russian Dmitriy Muserskiy was on a high level for the winning side, notching 30 points of which 6 came from the block. Australian Thomas Edgar scored 19 points for the Thunders.
